Let's call the two clocks A and B. If we compare these | two clocks when the ship is accelerating, the clock at the head seems | to run fast relative to the one at the tail. To see that, imagine that | the front clock emits a flash of light each second, and that you are | sitting at the tail comparing the arival of the light flashes with the | ticks of clock B. (...) The first flash travels the distance L1 and | the second flash travels the shorter distance L2. It is a shorter | distance because the ship is acelerating and has a higher speed at the | time of the second flash. You can see, then, that if the two flashes | were emitted from clock A one second apart, they would arrive at clock | B with a separation somewhat less than one second, since the second | flash doesn't spend as much time on the way." | | Einsteiniana's idiocies can destroy any rationality, even Richard | Feynman's one! Feynman made his bucks preaching nonsense just the same as Wheeler, Thorne, Misner, Hawking... you name them, they can all sound good.
